So is it a street car or what?

Street LEGAL, as in would pass an ontario safety and emission test. Good thing mine is omitted from e-testing now.

Hmm, I checked out your pics on 1320. Looks like a nice setup. What did the external cost? You think you gained anything? Other than obviously it doesn't break?

I can say straight up that I'm not too familiar with Honda motor issues. VW 2l 16v's, I'm pretty familiar with. The main issue with them is head flow. Other than that they are pretty strong.

How does boost pressure have anything to do with an oil pump failure? I can see how high RPMS would cause it to fail, but not high boost...
